During the first week of June, the WaterPower team spent several intense days on the island of Sylt in northern Germany. With a tightly packed program of working sessions discussion research approaches, new perspectives and in-depth analysis of each work package, we achieved significant progress and set out several new focussed tasks to work on.

After our exhausting but satisfying sessions, we enjoyed the beautiful setting we were in and celebrated our successful retreat with a trip into the wadden sea (picture with the muddy feet!).

WaterPower has strong ties with the IRI THEsys - Integrative Research Institute on Transformations of Human-Environment Systems at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. On two occasions, the team presented their work and networked with colleagues and visitors.
